One minute to much..
One minute to much water, now there is not enough fresh water for everyone. Hmmmm, not like back in Bermuda, when it didn't rain, you were in trouble, when it rained lots, long showers!
Again not much news right now (well news that effects us directly). Still waiting for "the papers", but we shall see.
It is interesting that back in the old home, their is a russian family that have been sailing around the world for something like 14 years, they are currently in Bermuda because they are waiting for Canada immigration to process some papers so they can immigrate as well. They had to leave Canada and sail to Bermuda because their time had run out on the fathers work permit that he was issued. So now they are in Bermuda, having to apply to stay longer so they can sail back up to Canada when their papers are processed. Hmmmm sounds familiar.
On the lighter side, the Canadian government is suing the Bermudian government, for something like $120,000 for unpaid bills. When you read the article, it ends up being a Canadian government sponsered printing company, did work for a Bermudian Goverment sponsered ad company, run by Walton Brown, Jr. Related to the deputy premier, and who used to be a history college lecturer (I used to attend his history classes). Nice guy, just apparently sucks when it comes to money, there was a pretty big scandel a few years ago when it came to ads at the Airport, and people not getting paid as well. It was even funnier cause at the end of the article, a check had been sent this very month by the Bermuda ad company for, get this, $500, that probably doesn't even cover the interest. You can't even rent an apartment for $500 in Bermuda!
We are all fine, cats included. Take care.
